<Titolo: New generation of coffee maker machines, integrating a number of 
innovative developments to produce a totally new device for the scope>


<Descrizione: Saeco SpA is a leader in brewing machine productions, design 
end development, especially in the field of coffee maker machines.
The Guide Line pf the proposed project, fully described in the following 
below, is  the design and construction of a new generation of coffee maker 
machines, integrating a number of innovative developments to produce a 
totally new device for the scope.
Aims of the projects are
A - Improve taste properties of the food (coffee) B -  Improve the food 
safety related to consumer health C - reduce the energetic and materials 
consumption by the machine As recommended in WP 2007 Theme 2 Area 2.2.3 Food 
processing.
In more detail are relevant point in defining the work packaging the 
following items:
1 - Design  and construction of a coffee making machine hosting a device for 
fast heating of water boiler, including a subsequent heat/energy  recovery 
from the waste heat of the machine.
2 - Design and construction of a built in machine with a device producing a 
flow pf N2 (nitrogen minimum purity of 95% vol. ) from air in order to 
preserve the 'aroma' (flavour & taste)  of stored coffee grains, as 
suggested from main coffee producers.
3 - Built in device for preventing /avoiding/ reducing deposition of calcium 
/magnesium carbonate salts from hot water in critical zone of  the coffee 
maker.  Such a device will be based on the use of appropriate application of 
magnetic fields.
Avoiding deposition will result in saving costs of maintenance, chemicals 
use, energy; in advance the absence of incrustations will reduce the 
opportunity for microbial and fungi to contaminate the machine and the 
related food.
4 - Design and installation of  a sanitization device, based on use of UV 
light, Ag ions, Oxygen enriched air ( byproduct of the item n°2), or a 
combination thereof, to eliminate bacteria and fungi from coffee maker 
critical points, especially in those working with milk ( 'cappuccino'
makers), so improving consumer's health safety.
5 - revolver system of coffee infusion in order to optimise time and quality 
of coffee deliveries , in varying operating conditions, saving energy and 
improving customer's satisfaction.
Activities are planned to begin in Aril 2007 and last in 24 months, 
according to Gantt diagrams reported in the following. >


<Tipo Ente: SME>


<Partner richiesto: An organisation which owns the culture and the available 
structure necessary to develop, as partner, an activity concerning 
organisation and management of agreements on the individual property between 
partners and on the Consortium Agreement that will be developed for the 
entire project life-cycle by a specialist organisation in direct contact 
with the internal structure at the coordinator's disposal.>
